ISEE Seismograph Operators
Certificate Program
1:30 - 4 p.m.
Program Goal: Provide excellence in seismograph monitoring
practices within the explosives industry by training
operators in best practices for deployment and set up, measurement,
analysis of ground vibrations and air overpressures,
as well as monitoring report preparation.
Program Design and Instruction: The program is designed
and presented by renowned monitoring industry
leaders demonstrating seismograph use to ensure accurate
and representative measurements to evaluate blast performance
and meet regulated compliance limits. The 3-hour
training concludes with a 30-minute test. Certificates of
completion are awarded to those achieving a 75% or better
passing score.
How You Will Benefit: The program will provide you
with the knowledge and skills to ensure blast monitoring is
performed to the highest industry standards as endorsed by
the ISEE. As an operator you have the unique opportunity
to assist blasters with off-site measurements used as a guide
to modify blast designs and achieve performance goals. Just
as important, you serve the community near blasting operations
assuring property owners that blasting is conducted
in a safe and prudent manner in compliance with stringent
regulated limits placed on ground vibrations and air-borne
sound pressures.
The Seismograph Operators Certificate Program,
sponsored by the ISEE Seismograph Section, provides
professional education, training, and guidance in the use
of blasting-type seismographs to record ground vibrations
and air-born sound pressure from blasting operations.
